In the midst of the Civil Rights Movement where spirits may not have been high, Nina Simone walked onto the stage and used her raspy voice to send a message. That message is there's always tomorrow and the future is bright. It's a live album that features Simone singing some of her biggest songs as well as other songs that she was fond of at the time. It also features a lot of dialogue from Simone on issues facing black Americans at the time.

She also debuted her song "Young Black And Gifted," which went on to become a staple of the Civil Rights Movement. You can't actually watch the performance but it should be pointed out that Nina Simone was known as "The High Priestess of Soul," because of her performing. She often played the piano while performing which was unheard of at the time. In addition to that she was one of the first artist to break apart songs with monologues featuring one after almost every song.

Long before she was sampled on songs like Cassidy's "Celebrate," Lil Wayne's "Misunderstood," or Kanye West's "Blood On The Leaves," she made a name for herself with her voice. It's undeniable that Simone had a unique voice. It was raspy, low and bashful. Some people even called her voice manly. At the time it was completely unheard of for a woman with such a voice to rise to any popularity whatsoever, on top of that, she stayed away from pop music which was popular at the time. She spent large amounts of time studying and integrating classical music into her routines. She stated that she only did pop music when the bills were due. Despite avoiding pop music she quickly became known for never shying away from any topic mixing spirituality with sexuality.

In her version Nina adjust some verses to say "Black is the color of my true love's skin." Making it an ode to black love. Another notable song was "Westwind" which was an old African song she learned from Miram Mekeba. Makeba was a singer from South Africa who was heavily influential in the Civil Rights Movement. She was so involved that she gained the nickname of Mother Africa. The song predominately features a drum beat that Simone calls "The heartbeat of our people."

The song that stands out most is "Young Black And Gifted." The song was written by Weldon Irvine who was a poet, playwright, and composer that later went on to mentor rappers like Q Tip and Mos Def. The song was written and sung in honor of their friend Lorraine Hansberry who had recently died of pancreatic cancer. Hansberry was most notably known for writing the play 'A Raisin In The Sun'. The song sings of how important it is to foster the growth of young gifted black people. She points out how important it is tell young black people to embrace their talents.
